Mr. Viggers

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what assessment he has made of the adequacy of the resources available to the probation service. [928]

We are reviewing a number of aspects of Home Office funding, including that of the probation service. We have not reached a considered view about the appropriate level of central Government provision.
